Backing Up iPad Data to OneDrive
Backing up files to OneDrive? Why?
While at NU, we notify every user to make sure they have backed up their data to their OneDrive as that is the only supported cloud storage space at Norwich. We do this to ensure that when your device becomes damaged, lost, or stolen, you will be able to access and recover your data easily. If you have never used OneDrive before, here are some instructions on logging into the app for the first time. Please note that your personally downloaded apps will not be backed up but if you use the same Apple ID as before you can re-download them in the App store for no extra charges. If you have additional personal data you want backed up to your Apple ID, you can learn how to do so here. Please make sure that all of your Norwich data has been backed up to OneDrive as this is the ONLY supported cloud storage app at Norwich.
